This is my first post hear so first of all I would like to say Hi I have a hydro II pump on a spit fire The pump is not producing any pressure what so ever on the solution line or the gage The mixer tank is full and when you take the inlet hose off of the HP pump there is water flow going into the pump I have a hunch that it may be the way the inlet hose is plumbed up I have a manual but it's not rely enough detail Any suggestions on this one most appreciated Thanks Batista |

Do you have any leaks under the unit.. There's 2 pressure hoses underneath right behind the front panel blue and yellow.. ck to see if they are on tight.. When looking at the spit go to the left and look inside for them..
Also could be your water dema solenoid not engaging or clogged.. Pump seals might be worn..Pressure Regulator (unloader) is defective.. Quickdisconnect on the front is malfunctioning..
Other TMers should chime in.. Edited by John L - 22/January/2009 at 1:30pm |

Thanks for the technical input John I think the drive belt from the blower and engine looks OK The only solenoid I know about is the chem/high tem solenoid located on the inlet of the mixer tank witch is not present I have coupled up a garden hose to the inlet of the pump. Turned the tap on force feed the water and found 2 leaks one on the out let quick connector of the machine which was faulty and I have now replaced and the other there was a crack on a ¼ to 1/8 reducing nut on the pressure gage; I have relocated the gage for the time being and with the garden hose system it still shows no pressure on the gage with or with out the machine running Now if I disconnect the 2 out let hoses on the pump rig up the garden hose to the inlet, with the tap on you will see water coming out of the outlet hoses with the machine in the off position. Now I run the machine and there is still water coming out of the outlets however if I rev the machine up the pressure dose not increase Now when I turn the machine off with the tap running note there is still water coming out of the outlets on the pump; then I turn the tap off disconnect the garden hose and connect the hose from the mixer tank to the inlet take it off to remove any air blockage there is a steady flow of water coming through the hose; reconnect it back up start the machine and there is no water coming out of the out let port on the pump The original pluming had a 3/8 to 5/8 reducing nipple connected to a ¾ tail fitting going into the inlet port and therefore a ¾” hose going into the inlet from the mixer tank The system now has 5/8 tail going into the inlet port and therefore a 5/8” hose going into the inlet from the mixer tank Is it possible a 5/8” hose and not a ¾” hose is casing the problem or is it something a lot more dramatic Bstista |

PS Basically by removing the out let hoses from the pump I have bypassed everything after the pump so therefore the problem must be within the pump or before the pump |
